Tyler Lyson might i say you are my roll model for life. I am so excited to become a paleontologist just like you! I am also going to Yale University as you graduated from. I am so excited i can't wait! By the way congradulations on the discovery for Dakota (the dino mummy you discovered when you were 16 years old on your uncles farm). Yes i know all about you, i know so much about you. But the one thing i dont know which i would Love to. Is when did you first discover that you wanted to become a paleontologist? Email me back whenever you can thank you so much and good luck on other findings!

Young people are just that – Young People.
They are Americas' future. . . . . but
They have a lot to learn yet and shouldn't be the deciding factor
to electing America's next president, IMO.
Why? Because they have not experienced enough in life to make
an educated choice. College students for instance are barely
out from under the protective custody of their parents guidance,
Mature adults on the other hand can recall many bad and good
presidents of the past and therefore are more able to make a more
informed decision -call them old farts if you will but they have
the much needed wisdom of history on their side.

Jack:
I suggest doing some RESEARCH (yes, you will have to do some reading, something you apparently have not done) on the various human species that preceded homo sapiens sapiens (the current human species). There are MANY of those human species in the fossil record.

Your discovery is absolutely AMAZING! I don't know what I would do if i ever found anything like that! Young people should really get interested in science because it's ahrd telling what they could do with themselves if they just put their mind to what they are doing!! Keep up the good work!! Much luv man!

1) CNN was not sensationalizing. "Mummified" is the term used in paleontology circles to describe dinosaurs (and pieces of them) found in this condition.
2) Check out the Marmarth Research Foundation website at mrfdigs.com for more info. I'm going this summer with my son (Hi, Tyler!)
3) Jack, you ARE a transitional form, just not yet in the fossil record. All in good time. Do a Google search on PLATYPUS and study that for a month or two and get back to us on transitional forms.
4) Thank God for dinosaurs and thank God for evolution!

Yes, it does seem CNN was sensationalizing, or at least not doing the background. A fossil of a mummy is not a mummy. Still a great find though, locating fossil soft tissue.

Where are your transitional forms inthe fossil record? Cant answer that can you? And dont give me punctionated equalilibrium either. Young man or woman just what did man evolve from? Show me man's transitional forms in the fossil reord..
And dont tell me to grow up. Please keep your epithets to your self. Ad hominim attacks are the last refuge of a person who is on shaky ground intellectually.
I would enjoy more discourse, young man or womon. You may refer to me as Mr Henry.
